Ceisteanna (679)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh

Ceist:

679. Deputy Marc Ó Cathasaigh asked the Minister for Health the steps that his Department is taking in order to ensure that there is consistency across all level 4 hospitals in relation to the provision of insulin pump therapy to adults, given that University Hospital Waterford is not providing insulin pump therapy to adults and does not offer treatment to adult patients who are using the therapy, resulting in those who have been receiving the therapy in the paediatric department having to transfer to other overstretched level 4 diabetes units in hospitals outside of the area once they reach the age of 18 years; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
